Spider-Man Now 1/2 Black 1/2 Latino and Possibly Gay….Seriously.

Marvel Comics has revealed Miles Morales has replaced Peter Parker as the webbed one. In the latest edition of the Ultimate Fallout series Spidey pulls back the disguise to reveal that he is a 1/2 Black, 1/2 Latino teenager who coincidentally has powers comparable to Peter Parker 

Fans will have to wait until the official Spider Man relaunch next month to find out how he came to be the superhero, but another surprise could be in the pipeline after his creators said that in the future they would not rule out making him gay.

Ok nerds….calm down! This is only in the Ultimate incarnation of the book; There are still about six other Spider-Man series’ you can follow starring your beloved Peter Parker.

SO ….Ill leave it up to you…Is this a great idea by Marvel to throw more outsider pathos into one character to add drama into the Spider-Man book; Or a Hamfisted exploitative display of PC garbage that will ruin the character?
